Best place to get 99 front bumper cover

I have the Fiberglass FEED style bumper with the 99 turn signals. But i hate the Fiberglass. And am about to get my car sprayed, and want to put a urethane bumper one. Any help is greatly appreciated.

Either buy one used in the 'parts for sale' section or buy one new from Corksport

Does anybody know where to get a good urethane 99+ front bumper without that license plate thing sticking out? Does Corksport ever offer that option?

^^^^

Corksport only sells OEM.

The question about plateless 99-spec bumpers has been asked many times. Please SEARCH...

Dumb question, but will the 93-95 bumper support bar work on the 99 bumper?

You need to cut out some of it to make room for the 99' turn signals. Also don't plan on easily mounting the 99' fog lights with this mod.

+1 on corksport. fits great.
I bought the 99 re-bar but it doesnt work well with a FMIC or the 99 Spec Fogs.
I sold it shortly thereafter to Stry8rd.

Note you will have to use your attachment bar up front, just re-rivet it to the 99 bumper.
You should find one if you have a feed.

Check out mine.

Get the plateless urethane one. It can fit good if you spend time pre-fitting it before paint.

That looks perfect. Where'd you get it from if you don't mind me asking, or pm.

Rx7.com sells the 99 spec bumper as well. Ari is a stand up guy. I bought a 99 spec under tray from him and he shipped it USPS so I wouldn't get charged any extra fees to Canada.

Corksport was not willing to do this
